If you want to make it easy, the basic theme of the new,fourth album "Being Empty: Being Filled" could be thereference to all the outstanding personalities beingpresented on it. But it's not that easy, of course. Listenerhave become louder, the guitars more rocking, sometimesmore angry. Kris hits the drums as if there is no tomorrow.But this is just the musical side. The other is poetry and Dansings, or should we say, talks, about life, with its edges, withthe big moments, the many questions and the many failures,like no other singer in this world. No pathos, no falsetheatricality obscures the view of the content of thenarrative. This way Dan recounts his stories, which may beour stories, makes Listener by a long way one of the mostinteresting bands of today. It is these analogies that bestdescribe our time and let us understand them. This pointingout the contradictions without lifting your finger. Thiswarmth, which in the end still gives hope, makes their musicunique.
